Bryshka is our beautiful girl we imported from Russia. She’s sweet, a little sassy, and super affectionate.
A couple of years ago, we decided it was time to add another girl to our Bernese Mountain Dog family. We looked at LOTS of dogs online. Probably hundreds. We researched some of the top breeders in Europe and looked at pedigrees, noting health records and longevity. Finally, we found the puppy we wanted: Millennium Star Sha-Mia in Russia.
At about six months old, she’d already done excellent in the show ring in Europe.
So we made the necessary arrangements, took a trip to the Pacific coast, and headed down to Los Angeles to pick up Sha-Mia from the airport. As soon as we opened the crate, she immediately accepted us as her new family. She bounded out, tail wagging, giving hugs and kisses. Before long, we decided on a new name for her: Bryshka, our own variation on the Russian name “Mishka.”
On our way back home, we stopped at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.
We couldn’t imagine life without Bryshka now! She loves everybody in our family, but Sadie is her favorite person.
Bryshka loves to just hang out in the house close to Sadie or another one of her people, go on walks, come along on trips to town, and go to the lake or on a hike. She’s always up for an adventure, and if we ever go somewhere without her, she is SO excited to see us when we come home.
She’s also a great mama who loves taking care of and playing with her puppies.
Her last litter is doing great, and we love it when their new families send us pictures!
We still have a few spots left on our waitlist for Bryshka and Bourne’s litter due June 21st, 2023. If you’re interested, call/text (406) 506-8957, send us a message through GoodDog or Instagram, or email us at back40berners@gmail.com.
